Ninety asymptomatic maxillary anterior teeth with periapical lesions were treated in single versus multiple visit root canal treatment. Half of the teeth were randomly assigned to the single-visit (SV) group and received an additional final rinse with 2% CHX before obturation. The other teeth were treated in multiple visits (MV) with calcium hydroxide dressing. All patients were recalled and investigated clinically and radiographically for 24 months.
